perspective.

by Aaron Michael

i ache to be heard.
there are echoes that people see,
but they don't listen first before they start speaking
and now there are jumbled phrases from
too many points
with radically differing ends
overlapping, undercutting,
arguing when there is no room for conversation.

there is no room for black and white in a
world this colorful.
that being said, i hardly try to
speak in terms of this or that or
wrong or right, and instead speak a perspective.

perspectives make the world work, and can
kill, or can breathe new life where there
was only the wishes and sparks before,
and there is no room for black and white
in a world of perspectives.

YES! And those who think in only black and white are the people I run away from. Perspective is subjective. Of course, the world has many colors in it. How dull it would be otherwise. ;-)
